What Do You Need to Add? You hear about horoscopes, yoga, transcendental meditation, and a host of other old and new philosophies. Do you need these things? Not if you have Jesus Christ and He is preeminent in your life. If you're in Jesus Christ, you are complete! Too often today we try to mix man made philosophies and legalistic rules with the Gospel. The Colossians Christians faced a similar dilemma. But Paul tenderly corrected their erring ways. He warned against the temptation to look for spiritual fulfillment from sources other than God. As he did with the Colossians, the Apostle Paul calls you to Be Complete in Christ! Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe is best known as an author, pastor, and radio Bible teacher. He was for many years pastor of Chicago's Moody Memorial Church and most recently served as General Director and Bible teacher for Back to the Bible. He has authored over 100 books, including the New Testament "BE" series from Victor Books.
Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe calls your attention to Paul's essential thoughts on living a complete life—with Christ alone - in this easy-to-use commentary on Colossians. End of chapter questions for reflection or group discussion are also included.
"It is necessary only for the good man [or woman] to do nothing for evil to triumph." --Edmund Burke It is certainly true today that the "Do Nothings" outnumber "The Company of the Concerned," which in part explains why society is so confused and frightened. It's time for God's people to be concerned! Meet some concerned believers who made a difference in their time and who show you how to make a difference in your time: Amos-The "farmer preacher" who understood the times better than the scholars and who dared to stand for God's truth against the highest officials in the nation. Obadiah-The prophet who explained why longstanding family feuds ultimately bring defeat and disgrace. Micah-The prophet who shows why the only hope for any nation is surrender to the Lord and obedience to His Word. Zephaniah-The prophet who saw the coming "Day of the Lord" and told the people how to get ready. Join God's "faithful remnant" and dare to be different!
How to Really Live by Faith When the Book of Hebrews was penned, the ages were colliding and society seemed to be shaking. Hebrews was written to Christians who were wondering what was going on and what they could do about it. As the stability of the old was passing away, their faith was wavering. One major message of Hebrews is BE CONFIDENT! God is shaking things so you might learn to live by faith and not by sight. He wants to build your life on the permanence of the eternal, not on the instability of the temporal. Look to Jesus Christ and BE CONFIDENT! Our ever-living High Priest in heaven is able to see us through our difficult and demanding days too. "The just shall live by faith!"
Isn't it time you stopped wandering and started conquering? Life is too short to wander around and miss out on the special inheritance God has for you right now. Stop wasting time and energy "doing your own thing." Get into the will of God and be counted! If you've been saying, "Count me out!" then the time has come for you to start saying, "Count me in--right now!" God is looking for people He can count on, people who will: Trust Him for daily guidance and provision Learn the meaning of His love and discipline Fight the battles of life by faith--and conquer Live for the future and not keep yearning for the past In the Book of Numbers, God tells us how to use the freedom Jesus purchased for us on the cross. He describes the kind of people who can be counted on to believe His promises, accomplish His purposes, and claim the inheritance He's assigned to them. Don't be a wanderer who goes through life never reaching your inheritance. Be Counted and trust Christ to lead you into God's very best blessings.
Are You Ready to Go to Your Jerusalem? In this study of Luke 14-24, Warren Wiersbe examines Luke's account of our Lord's journey to Jerusalem, reminding us that the major message for God's people today is BE COURAGEOUS! By studying our Lord's journey, you will learn about: Discipleship--its cost and compensations Daily living--wasting, spending, or investing your life The right and wrong of riches Facing up to Christ's authority The power of a joyful life Today the enemy pressures you to compromise, conform, and quit. But Dr. Luke explains how you can journey to your Jerusalem, carry your cross, and BE COURAGEOUS!
Why go through life as a spectator? In this practical study of Acts 13-28, Dr. Wiersbe explains how God equips and calls ordinary people to do extraordinary tasks. He answers such questions as: What is a call to service? How does God equip His servants? How can I determine His will for my life? What is God's program for world outreach? Don't just watch what's happening! Be a dynamic part of the excitement and action of Christian service right where you are. Yes, it's time to BE DARING. Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe is best known as an author, pastor, and radio Bible teacher. He was for many years pastor of Chicago's Moody Memorial Church and most recently served as General Director and Bible teacher for Back to the Bible. He has authored over 100 books, including the New Testament "Be" series from Victor Books.
The Prophet Jeremiah wasn't a middle-of-the-roader. People always knew just where he stood. He stood with God. In spite of persecution and seeming failure, for over forty years Jeremiah courageously declared God's message to a nation sinking in sin and heading for judgment. As you stud Jeremiah's book you'll discover: How to be bold before people and broken before God The secret of overcoming discouragement in ministry The principles by which God deals with nations What is takes to become like Jesus Christ What Lies in the future for the nations of the world Jesus said, "He that is not with Me is against Me" (Matt. 12:30). Today, as never before, God's people must BE DECISIVE.
What is freedom...and do you have it? Is freedom the right to do whatever you want to do, whenever you want to do it? Most people would say, “Yes!” They’re wrong! That kind of “freedom” is the worst kind of bondage. It turns life into a prison. You think you’re free when you’re really a slave—and you can’t free yourself. Real freedom begins with knowing God and enjoying the liberty He alone can give. In the exciting Book of Exodus, Moses explains how God delivers you from bondage, takes you to Himself, and leads you in a path of responsible freedom. As you study Be Delivered, you will discover: What freedom really is and how you can have it How God cares for His people and guides them day-by-day What real worship is and how to enjoy it How obeying God’s will sets you free No matter what may be binding you today, you can Be Delivered.

In spite of opposition, Nehemiah stayed on the job and saw the holy city restored. Nehemiah was a successful leader who teachers us: How to encourage others to serve the Lord How to detect and defeat the enemy's tactics How to keep going when the going is tough How to make prayer a vital part of your life Satan is tearing things down in this world, but Jesus Christ is building things up. For which one are you working? No matter how difficult the situation may be, get acquainted with Nehemiah and learn how to Be Determined!
